Katarina vs Aurelion Sol

Updated May 31, 2026

Overview

Katarina has low early agency and lane pressure; focus on surviving and punishing Aurelion Sol's cooldowns.
Deny Aurelion Sol a passive farming lane by using dagger setups and punishing his weak early game.

Trading pattern

Set daggers with Q or W and wait for Aurelion Sol to use Aurelion Sol Q or Aurelion Sol W before engaging.
Use E to jump in only when crowd control is down or a reset is possible.
Avoid trading when Aurelion Sol's poke abilities are available and you lack dagger setups.

Danger windows

Avoid engaging when Aurelion Sol's poke (Aurelion Sol Q and W) is up and you lack daggers.
Be cautious when Aurelion Sol completes Rylais and upgrades his ultimate, increasing his control and damage.
Punish Aurelion Sol's roams by hard pushing the wave and taking plates; ping danger to teammates.

Early game

Use early levels to farm safely and avoid Aurelion Sol's E into Q poke combo.
Look for fast all-ins before Aurelion Sol unlocks his full kit around level 6.
Avoid extended trades without dagger positioning or cooldown advantage.

Power spikes

Katarina's level 3 unlocks her dagger combo with mobility for burst trades.
Level 6 R is a major all-in threat if Aurelion Sol's crowd control or mobility is down.
Aurelion Sol's major spike is late game after completing Rylais and upgrading his ultimate, which Katarina must respect.

Win conditions

Survive early lane and punish Aurelion Sol's cooldowns with dagger resets.
Use skirmishes and river fights to chain takedown resets and snowball.
Deny Aurelion Sol calm scaling by forcing chaotic fights and roaming when wave state allows.

Tip: For Katarina vs Aurelion Sol, read overview, trading pattern, and danger windows first for a fast Mid lane check.
